2024 Ford F-450 Super Duty Crew Cab Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 F-450 Super Duty is offered in six trim levels: XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum and Limited. Unlike the variety of its F-250 and F-350 counterparts, the F-450 is available only with an 8-foot bed. XL and XLT trims offer regular-cab and crew-cab configurations, while Lariat trims and above only come with crew cabs.

Power comes from a turbocharged 6.7-liter diesel V8 (475 hp, 1,050 lb-ft of torque). A high-output version delivers 500 hp and 1,200 lb-ft of torque. It comes standard on the Limited trim and optional for all others. Both engines pair with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive is standard starting with the XLT trim (optional with the XL). Dual rear wheels are standard on all F-450 models.

XL
The base F-450 Super Duty XL is largely equipped for work-truck duty. It offers the fewest features, but still comes with most essentials. Highlights include:

  • 19.5-inch alloy wheels with commercial-grade tires
  • Heated towing mirrors
  • Vinyl floor covering and upholstery
  • Power windows and door locks
  • Remote keyless entry
  • 8-inch infotainment display
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (with wireless connectivity)
  • Wi-Fi hotspot
  • Four-speaker audio system
  • Trailer hitch receiver and wire harness
  • Trailer sway control
  • Integrated trailer brake controller (allows adjustment of a trailer's brakes from the cab)
  • Rearview camera

XLT
The XLT builds off the base XL's features with:

  • Standard four-wheel drive
  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • Chrome bumper and grille
  • Foglights
  • Power-adjustable mirrors
  • Carpeted floor and cloth upholstery
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Five-speaker audio system
  • Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)

Lariat
The Lariat expands on the XLT's offerings with:

  • LED headlights and LED bed lighting
  • Power-folding and power-telescoping tow mirrors
  • Remote start
  • Keyless entry with push-button start
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated and ventilated power-adjustable front seats
  • Heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Power-adjustable pedals
  • Heated outboard rear seats
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Ambient interior lighting

The Lariat also comes with these tech upgrades:

  • Digital instrument cluster screen
  • 12-inch touchscreen infotainment display with navigation
  • Eight-speaker B&O audio system with subwoofer
  • Wireless charging pad
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Rear automatic braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the truck and its surroundings in tight parking situations)
  • Rear parking sensors

King Ranch
The King Ranch adds Western flair to the F-450, with all of the Lariat features plus:

  • 20-inch alloy wheels
  • Front parking sensors
  • Power tailgate
  • Power-deployable running boards
  • Upgraded leather upholstery and trim
  • 14-speaker B&O audio system
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Pro Power Onboard (bed-mounted 2-kW electrical outlet for powering external devices)
  • Upgraded forward collision mitigation system
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the F-450 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the F-450 and the car in front)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Lane centering system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Backup Assist (additional features to make installing and reversing a trailer easier)
  • Onboard Scales & Smart Hitch (payload and trailer tongue weight monitoring system)

Platinum
The Platinum trim comes with similar features as the King Ranch, minus the Western theme. Changes include:

  • Revised exterior trim and styling
  • Platinum-specific leather interior
  • Massaging front seats

Limited
The F-450 Limited loads on the luxuries. It starts with the Platinum features and adds:

  • High-output turbocharged diesel V8 engine
  • Two-panel power sunroof
  • Premium two-tone leather upholstery
  • Synthetic suede headliner
  • Carbon-fiber interior trim

Many features found on the upper trim levels are optional on the lower trims. Other upgrades include:

  • FX4 Off-Road package (optional on all 4x4 models)
    • Limited-slip rear axle
    • Hill descent control
    • Off-road shock absorbers
    • Transfer case and fuel-tank skid plates

The F-450 is also available with several heavy-duty suspension and towing upgrades for recreational or commercial use.

Which F-450 Super Duty trim does Edmunds recommend?

Most commercial and work-truck buyers will find the best value in the XL and XLT trims. But for recreational buyers — those who need to tow campers, horse trailers or toy haulers, for example — we think the Lariat is the best choice. It comes with essential comforts, but also relative luxuries like leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats, as well as advanced tech like a 12-inch touchscreen and blind-spot warning. The latter is a useful feature given the F-450's wide berth. If you want to take things further, many of the Platinum and Limited upper-trim features are also optional for the Lariat.
